It doesn't say how he made this press pass back in 1965 but it save to assume it wasn't Photoshop. I wonder why he sat on the images for this long.

sandpiper Cream of the Crop  More info | Mar 30, 2013 11:07 | #3 The method seemed to work for him, because he was ultimately able to trick police men into escorting him right to the front of the stage. That’s where, as luck would have it, the only other photographer present happen to run out of film, Well, he got $45,000 for the shots.

Missed that but then again I don't really care. I would bet you are probably one in hundreds that would pick up on that. My life is like one big RAW file....way too much post processing needed.

You walk straight forward, don't avoid eye contact, and don't slow down. It also helps if you fake a phone conversation in which you are extremely disappointed with the imaginary subordinate on the other end of the conversation. Walk right on in like you've been there a million times. Thank you.
